Australians Are Not Happy A Melbourne Pub Was Demolished, And Their Reactions Are Gold

Don't get in between Melbournians and their beer and heritage listed pubs.

The Victorian Government and Melbourne City Council are furious after a heritage listed pub was demolished by developers on Saturday, and Australians aren't holding back either.

The Corkman Irish Pub in Melbourne -- previously known as the Carlton Inn -- was built in 1857, but last week it was partially burnt down by a fire. On the weekend, residents called Melbourne City Council complaining about demolition noise.

By the time council inspectors arrived, the majority of the building was gone and a stop-work order didn't stop the building being completely demolished.
